We used Ali at http://www.alitangiertours.com/ for a 4 hour tour. He met us and returned us to the ship. Some driving, a good deal of walking. Very pleasant guy. A good tour. Just beware that you may end up at a rug store with what I would call mid-pressure as opposed to high-pressure to buy a rug. If you're not interested in rugs just let him know. In fairness my sister did buy 2 rugs. Bottom line I would recommend Ali.

I find it hard to believe that with Liebowitz leaving on March 1st they could make a deal for the sale of Odyssey between then and now. It wouldn't surprise me if he was involved in putting that deal in motion if not in place.

We were on this cruise this past January and we had booked flights thru Seabourn. We arrived at BA/EZE at 4:00pm from Ushuaia. Our flight from BA to DFW was at 8:55P. This is what happened for those of us that had booked flights thru Seabourn. When we arrived at BA/EZE we collected all our luggage. A Seabourn rep met us and took us out to a bus that took us to a nearby restaurant (about a 15 minute drive) for a meal and then back to the airport for our flight home. The meal was courtesy of Seabourn up to a specific limit. I don't recall the amount.

Has anyone on here stayed at The Londra Palace or Ca di Dio and if yes opinions please.

Ditto for Antarctica.

Are the divers inspecting the stabilizers?

Thanks for all the valuable info you have been providing.

Thanks. Is the dark inner layer like a “puffy” jacket?

Can you provide photos of both pieces of the parka?

Thanks for the info.

Any Covid on board?

May it please be so!

Thanks for the update. I'm guessing once past Isla Nueva is where the fun begins, or not, in the Drake Passage.

Can anyone tell me how long the ships take to go from Ushuaia to Isla Nueva, the beginning of the Drake Passage?

So how long does it take from Ushuaia?

Very helpful. Many thanks.

Can anyone tell me how long it takes to get from Ushuaia to Isla Nueva or to the point you enter the Drake Passage?

Thanks for all the good info and advice.

Do you use an International size roll-aboard?

Were you able to bring your usual carry-on wheeled luggage on the charter flight? If yes, did they weigh it? Did they weigh your checked luggage for the charter?

I wonder if Alvear Icon room service would prepare some food to go that we could take with us on the plane and the same with the Venture for the return flight?

Just curious. Was a meal served on the charter flight from BA to Ushuaia?

Passengers who were on the 12/15 to 1/4 cruise please share your experiences on the cruise for those of us who are booked on one of the remaining Antarctica cruises on Venture.

Thanks for a very comprehensive reading list and happy New Year!

Would appreciate book suggestions for reading prior to an Antarctica cruise. Thanks
